City of Miami Sea Level Rise Committee Workshop Notes City of Miami Sea Level Rise Committee Workshop May 16, 2018 10:30 AM Miami Rowing Club, 3601 Rickenbacker Causeway, Miami FL Notes Public Comment Rick from Spring Garden: Would like to bring attention to the existance of our community to the committee. Spring Garden Point Park sea wall needs to be addressed. Mel Meinhart from Coconut Grove: Appreciates the important work being done by Sea Level Rise Committee and Office of Resilience. Has the committee/sustainability/resilience work gotten more financial funding? Have they committed funding for adequate staffing and talented staff for this department? o Wayne Pathman: Funding requested from a year ago was granted but not at the amount originally requested o Jane Gilbert: Office remains the same as of last week, we are adding a Resilience Programs Manager and hiring an admin. o Current administration is committed to this issue, and learned from the commission meeting last week that resilience is broader than their original understanding. Resident from Little Havana: Happy this meeting is in a different location. Speaks to her concern that not enough people know about these meetings and this issue. We have a better voice when commissioners see that people come to these meetings. CRO/Staff Update Current administration wants to accelerate response to SLR and resilience issues. Kickoff of Stormwater Master Plan – lead engineer has a strong green/gray infrastructure approach. Working on outreach plan and how their work can involve the SLRC. For more information contact: [email protected] / 305-960-5191 o First step is data collection: digitizing and inventorying existing stormwater infrastructure – data collection. o There will be public outreach meetings where residents can learn more. Phase 2 of the GM&B resilience strategy is starting to wrap up. Awarded Bloomberg Mayors Challenge – collaborating with Miami Beach on prototyping flooding tools. Miami Beach – flood warning system. Miami – data visualization tool to help residents understand their risks from flooding. Awarded Partners for Place with match from Miami Foundation – enable greater neighborhood outreach and resilience planning within the City of Miami. Presentation I: Keeping Current, Little Havana/Jose Marti Park SLR design challenge – Jessica Lax, Van Alen Institute Who is Van Alen Institute? o Van Alen is a convener and organizing party – they aren’t the ones coming up with the solutions . Jessica Lax is Director of Competitions o Past work: helped redesign alleyways in West Palm; a partner in Rebuild by Design in the northeast post Hurricane Sandy; plans and recommendations to the Louisiana masterplan for rerouting the Mississippi delta Keeping Current: how do we come up with replicable and implementable solutions to flooding/SLR in the Southeast o Research – talked to climate compact, created resource guide for designers, and local universities o 3 Challenges . Climate Design Lab: HS program, 3 weeks, paid, applications due in 2 weeks, starts in July o Jose Marti Park . Adaptive redesign How can we create a new model for adaptive redesign? How can we create a plan that serves community needs? How can we create a plan that encourages active and passive recreation? . The Process Engagement o Before the RFQ for design is sent out, asking the community what they want to see via surveys. Surveys will be sent out door to door and via Nextdoor. o Will host design events and charrettes to keep input coming throughout the process. o Project outreach team helps them keep a pulse on the community and in touch with residents/stakeholders. For more information contact: [email protected] / 305-960-5191 . Live Healthy Little Havana board members would like to help. If you have outreach recommendations please send an email to [email protected]. o What departments have been involved? Parks and Recreation, Live Healthy Little Havana, Office of Resilience o Will past outreach regarding Jose Marti Park be integrated into this plan? . Outreach from the SAP meeting will be used in the plans that are designed for this project. This initiative is more focused on solutions that also integrate resilience whereas the other plan and idea for park update did not. Timeline: research phase is complete, HS program coming this summer, Jose Marti Park happening now – outreach started on Thursday . Considerations Ensure that the sea level rise projections being used are the unified projections from the Compact Any discussion with FDOT on integrating with the Riverwalk? City of Miami is working to build better ongoing communication with FDOT, Miami River Commission is lead communicator at this time. Presentation II: Resilient Redesign guidelines for historic structures in Little Havana – Sonia R. Chao, University of Miami School of Architecture/National Science Foundation/Florida Climate Institute Toolkit for historic structures in East Little Havana that addresses preservation and resilience needs simultaneously o Easy digestible document with lots of graphics o Release is dependent on more funding . Pro bono project NSF funded project: Human Centered Computational Framework for Resilient Cities o Create an interdisciplinary framework – PEOPLES framework – look at interactivity between social and physical place . Looking at Miami Beach and East Little Havana o Principal component assessment . Age of house, stories, building use, style, elevation, etc. For example: compare characteristics of slab grade buildings – mid-century modern vs. houses built after code change post Hurricane Andrew Can Miami Beach solutions be used in City of Miami? o Miami Beach doesn’t have as many sea walls as Miami Beach so we have different realities. But the west side of Miami Beach might have some similar solutions to those needed for City of Miami. For more information contact: [email protected] / 305-960-5191 “To think that historic buildings need to be destroyed just because they’re old is ignorant.” However not all buildings can be kept “as-is” because they’re too vulnerable and will either be lost or uninsurable. Discussion Item I: Summary of May 17, 40-year Action Plan Workshop Risk o FEMA said at a recent conference that they are moving to risk based pricing which is a game changer to South Florida o Understanding economic and physical risk will help build resident support o Risk information must be presented when the City is ready to invest/take action. Potential deliverables: stormwater masterplan (2 yrs – this is a confirmed deliverable separate from this plan), timeline to reduce risk – adapt with greater urgency, incentives for developers, seawall strategy, environmental impact assessment strategy, economic modeling, code updates o Mapping as a priority: it is key to all decision-making. Must have multiple, dynamic layers. o Incentive vs mandate: certain things may need to be mandated as a starting place Public Comment o Mel Meinhardt: Houston immediately raised its freeboard. Why don’t you recommend that to the commission? . We have a draft report almost completed for building code low hanging fruit from a previous workshop – this is one of the recommendations. o Gabriel: Is transportation a consideration in this plan? . City is not responsible for mass transit. It is neither something the City can control nor in the scope of work of the Sea Level Rise Committee. Recommendation will be done by end of the year (hopefully) Name: City of Miami Risk Assessment Plan (official motion) Discussion Item II: May 24 Quarterly Commission Appearance Will present if the Commission has interest in hearing from them. Albert, Wayne, Frances, Reinaldo interested in representing the Committee. Discussion Item III: Sea Level Rise Committee Bylaws & Meeting Protocols (schedule workshop) Committee would like to see sample bylaws. June 7th at 10am – Miami Rowing Center or conference room in the back of City Hall Discussion Item IV: Request to review/comment on draft of Mayor’s Resilience Committee Ordinance This is already scheduled for the June 14th agenda and was submitted from the Mayor’s office Table this for now – find out if the Mayor wants us to weigh in, find out if it’s an Ordinance or Resolution For more information contact: [email protected] / 305-960-5191 Discussion Item V: Recommending/defining the creation of Adaptation Action Zones or Districts Creation of adaptation action zones/districts to expedite resilience initiatives in vulnerable areas, proposed by Albert Gomez o Wants something that addresses the buildings in the pipeline that aren’t built to newer code standards o Feels that code changes do not allow for a holistic approach Ryan Shedd, Planning Department: adaptation action areas were created by FL as a comprehensive planning tool – looks at funding and policy, etc. o Zoning ordinances in their nature are inflexible, doing this (creating a zoning overlap) would require an annual zoning update o Planning recommends tying code amendments to some other existing data point – like FEMA o Code changes will achieve the same ends and be more flexible SLRC wants to discuss with Francisco and Planning Dept to figure out how to expedite and fund this issue (resilient buildings) Motion: Change legislation from “resolution” to “ordinance” o Motion fails Discussion item has already passed, needs to be resubmitted to the agenda office so next time it will be on agenda is June at the earliest Parting Comments Check out miamigov.com/sealevelrise for meeting updates Hurricane Season is 2 weeks away, get prepared! Next scheduled meeting: Monday June 18, City Hall Commission Chambers For more information contact: [email protected] / 305-960-5191 Participatory Design: Engaging Little Havana In Climate Adaptation City of Miami Sea Level Rise Committee Meeting 21 May 2018 JESSICA LAX Director of Competitions Van Alen Institute 2 ABOUT VAN ALEN OUR MISSION + BELIEFS At Van Alen Institute, we believe design can transform cities, landscapes, and regions to improve people’s lives.
